What the Hell: Ecuador Releases 2024 Copa America Kits, But the Home Will Be Probably Banned in Copa America
- New Kits Launched: Marathon released the Ecuador National Team's 2024-2025 home and away kits, intended for the Copa América and World Cup Qualifiers.
- Home Kit Controversy: The Ecuador home kit has a yellow front and a navy blue back, which may violate FIFA rules requiring a single dominant color on both the front and back of the shirt, potentially leading to a ban for Copa America.
- Away Kit and Font: The away kit is predominantly white with a dark blue horizontal stripe and the typeface used is similar to Adidas' 2022 World Cup font.
Marathon has launched the new Ecuador National Team shirts for 2024 and 2025. They are set to be worn during the Copa América and the World Cup Qualifiers, but a major change might be needed.

The Marathon Sports Ecuador 2024 football shirt is yellow with a navy diagonal stripe that runs across the shirt from right to left.
FIFA: The front Area and the Back Area of the Shirt must feature the same single Dominant Colour
For the first time in history, the back of an Ecuador kit features a color different from the predominant one, and it is entirely dark blue.
However, the different colors for the front and back are probably banned for Copa America. The official 2024 Copa America rules state that "kits [shall be] in accordance with the FIFA Equipment Regulations." FIFA Equipment Regulations clearly say that "the Front Area and the Back Area of the Shirt must feature the same single Dominant Colour."
The Ecuadorian Football Federation shield is applied on the left side in gold, while the Marathon logo appears on the right side, within the stripe, in yellow of the Ecuador 2024 home football shirt.
